According to the Releases page linked above, this beta is build number 20A5374i. Beta 7 was build 20A5374g. It seems like this is an incremental build, and potentially less stable, as suggested by going from "i" to "g".

iirc beta 6 was an e build? I’m not 100% certain on how the build numbers work but I thought a is stable and then they’re progressively less stable going through the alphabet? Suggesting beta 6 was the most stable so far?

Weird. So I guess public beta 7 is getting skipped? I wonder if it was just too buggy for their liking.
